    No Anna-Lena Groenefeld this year? I'd fancy her chances if she's now fully recovered and taking part.

    Amelie's a great player for sure but IMHO she always seems to fall apart on the big occasions.

    Btw, taking a look at the Australian Open's official Web site (http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/bios/indexw.html) it still lists Ms. Groenefeld. If she does participate I believe Anna-Lena, who is SO much stronger than a year ago...could be this year's dark horse.

    If her service game can improve just a little bit, she'll be able to go far with her groundstrokes.

    It is hard at this point to say which player will be in best shape for the Open, maybe Clijsters will make a good effort, as this is her final year...

    the odds are too short for me to take a chance on her though.

    well, i hate to see you lose 4 units on this washed up chick. but, sense your already planning on losing 4 units betting on her. why not go for 5 then


    ILL, she has no chance at winning this tourny.

    I'll probably stick two units on her. I don't like betting futures. I'll stick to individual matches for the most part.
